Schnitzel Haus German Restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn - Reviews & Reservations

Great German food and beer but skip dessert. For some reason the apple strudel, german chocolate cake and black forest cake are not nearly up to the same standards. Do get the Pilze Forsterin Art! Great appetizer! The mushrooms are thick and juicy, the gravy delicious and the pumpernickel bread ties it together. I heartily recommend the sausage sampler!

This was my first time trying German food, and it was definitely an acquired taste for me. I ordered the chicken paprika, and I found myself liking it more with each bite. It did take a while to come out, but the menu mentioned that it takes longer to prepare. Unfortunately, there was a band playing that made the experience less enjoyable. The vocal mic was way too loud, and honestly, I’m not sure who told the singer he could sing. On top of that, when it came time to pay, I was told it was cash-only, which confused me. I didn’t see any cash-only signs, and the menu clearly states there's a 4% non-cash adjustment fee, so I knew I could use my card for payment. Plus, there was a lit credit card machine at the register. When I asked the server (who I believe is the owner's wife) if it was a cash-only night, she said it’s always cash-only. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I didn’t want to make a fuss, especially with the loud singer. I just went to get cash and paid. I don’t think I’ll be returning to this place.

Recently celebrated my friend's birthday at Schnitzel Haus, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was incredibly authentic, with perfectly crispy schnitzels, sausages and delicious sides and a mouthwatering apple strudel for dessert. The cozy ambiance and attentive service made the evening truly memorable. If you're seeking genuine German cuisine, Schnitzel Haus is a must-visit. Highly recommended!!

The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They serve German food and have a large bar. The dishes include various schnitzel which are similar to breaded chicken and veal cutlets. German style soups, salads and bratwurst are also available. Dessert options include black forest cake. The restaurant is currently a cash-only business.

Update: after such a nasty response by the owner I highly doubt we will be back. Good food, nice service but somewhat slow taking into account that there were no other customers at the restaurant. The place only accepts cash. Who carries so much cash with them these days? It was a big group of us and it was extremely annoying that we had to run to an ATM machine in order to pay for our meal. You can always add an option to use a credit card for additional fees instead of having your customers run to an ATM machine after having a meal or let them know ahead of time that this is a cash only place so they don't feel trapped.

I had dinner with my friend. The house spiced cider was perfect, highly recommend you try that. We ordered beef goulash and potato leek soup; they were delicious and big serving size too. For the entrees, we got the pork tenderloin and pork schnitzel; one entree was enough to feed two people. The sauce was delicious, just a bit too much salt on the meat for me. Customer service was wonderful. Definitely give this place a try if you want German food.

The food is pretty good. Love the sausages and Schnitzel. The beer selection was great. Atmosphere is pretty nice and comfortable. The service was OK considering it was just the bartender doing everything (she was great though).

The food was hearty and filling. I ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel the pork was fried well and the mushroom sauce had a good flavor. My husband ordered the Scnitzel A La Holstein the veal was way better than the pork it was more tender and crispy. We also got the potato pancakes I found them to be a bit dry but overall not terrible. This was one of the better German restaurants I’ve tried in NYC.
